<![CDATA[Choppy video playback]]>Some of my recordings are 'Choppy'. I have played around with the settings and turned off hardware acceleration but cannot improve it. I have closed down all unnecessary applications. My computer is a Sony VAIO laptop:

I like your software very much. Is there any suggestions for fixing choppy video playback?

This usually corrects most problems we choppy screen recodings. The latest version now has a new setting that automatically disables hardware acceleration when starting a screen recording and it is rest back when you have completed the recording.

Here are the steps to use the automated hardware acceleration toggle feature:

  1. On the Tools menu, select Settings.
  2. Select the Performance tab.
  3. Check the option Disable Hardware acceleration during recording.
  4. Click OK.

If you recording a video from Windows Media Player then you will need to also turn off video acceleration.

The steps to turn off the video acceleration in Windows Media Player:

  1. In Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click on Options.
  2. Select the Performance tab.
  3. Move the Video Acceleration Slider to None.

Choppy video is a PC performance related issue. If the above settings did not help, here are a few things you can try to increase performance:

  1. Reduce the screen resolution of your monitor to 800x600 pixels or lower.
  2. Reduce the color depth of your monitor to 256 colors.
  3. If you are interested in recording a portion of the screen then try using Region recording or Window recording instead.
